Annabel's Christmas Rake

Lady Annabel Blackbourne has no interest in any of the gentlemen her mother wants her to marry. They're too polite. Too respectable. Too, well, boring. After all, who would want to marry someone with a button collection? Just as she is beginning to fear she will never meet the dashing man of her dreams, however, fate intervenes... Lucas O'Brian, notorious gambler and unapologetic womanizer, only has one rule: never seduce an innocent. As a man who avoids romantic entanglements like the plague, it is a rule he is hell-bent on keeping, until one snowy evening a carriage accident quite literally drops a beautiful blonde straight into his lap. From the moment they meet Lucas and Annabel's sizzling chemistry is undeniable. But Lucas is determined to leave Annabel alone... almost as determined as she is to seduce him. One thing is certain. This holiday season, some rules are meant to be broken...
